Your questions about shower tray repair in West Thirston
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover West Thirston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to West Thirston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in West Thirston
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in West Thirston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
